The special modification AMX-30 ACRA of the AMX-30, is a French rank VI tank equipped with a unique smooth bore gun capable of launching laser guided ACRA missles.

The French government may not have agreed to pay the required 1,000,000 francs for the guidance complex and 30,000 for each missile, but in War Thunder, players will be able to afford these luxuries much more easily! The AMX-30 ACRA is arriving in War Thunder with update 1.93 as one of the rank VI tanks in the French tech tree. The tank is equipped with a unique cannon launcher, a 142 mm smoothbore gun, developed under the ACRA program. Players get two types of ammunition to choose from - a HE fragmentation round, and the ACRA ATGM itself, capable of penetrating up to 800 mm of armour. Munitions tests showed that the laser was able to guide the missile toward targets at distances of more than 3 km, at supersonic speed. The turret’s frontal section is amended to fit a new sight and guidance device, and as for the remaining aspects - the protection, crew, mobility and maximum speed - the new tank shares components with the AMX-30 (1972) already familiar to French tank enthusiasts.





In short, the AMX-30 ACRA is a good and interesting tank of rank VI, with its pros and cons. It feels fine even in a setup with the Leclerc MBT, and its feels completely comfortable in any battles of the V-VI ranks. Meet the new high tier French vehicle in the War Thunder update 1.93 “Shark Attack”!

The M1A2 is among the latest and most capable modifications of the American Abrams MBT, featuring notable improvements in protection as well as other areas. Soon, the highly anticipated M1A2 will also make its way to War Thunder as part of update 1.93, becoming the new crowning jewel of the American ground forces tree!

In War Thunder, the M1A2 will be the new top performer of the American ground forces tree, following its introduction to the game as part of the upcoming update 1.93. While its outside appearance doesn’t stray far from its direct predecessor, the M1A2 nonetheless holds some notable upgrades underneath all that steel plating that very much differentiates it from the M1A1.

For starters, the most notable improvement lies within the M1A2’s armor protection. Unlike the M1A1, the M1A2 features composite armor with second generation depleted uranium components which substantially bolsters resistance against all ammunition types. In other words, or numbers rather, this improved protection will be most noticeable at the M1A2’s turret cheeks, which can absorb around 600mm to 900mm of penetration from kinetic and chemical munition types respectively.





However, while this upgrade certainly makes the M1A2 a tougher nut to crack, it also makes it quite a bit heavier and thus negatively impacts its overall mobility as a result. Due to the fact that the M1A2 retains its 1,500 hp gas turbine engine from previous modifications while its mass increases to nearly 62 metric tons, the end result is a slightly lower power-to-weight ratio which translates into slower acceleration. Despite the weight increase however, the top speed remains identical to that of the M1A1 - 42.25 mph (68 km/h).
